The final evaluated answer will be 73,950.

Explanation:

First, you would make 87,000 into 87000/1. Then you would have 87000/1xx17/20.

Then, you would multiply the numerators, 87,000xx17, and that equals 1,479,000. Also, the denominators, 1xx20, equaling 20.

You would have the new fraction 1479000/20.

Finally, you would simplify that by dividing 1,479,000 and 20, that would give you the final answer of 73,950.
